Ochsner Trocar and Cannula 14Fg

Clinical Application

This trocar and cannula set provides a controlled means of creating percutaneous access for the introduction of instruments or drains. At 14Fg, the set is appropriate for creating a small-diameter working port or for placement of drainage catheters in soft-tissue and minimally invasive procedures where a compact lumen is required. The obturator is used to penetrate tissue and establish access; once the tract is created the obturator is removed and the cannula remains in situ to facilitate instrument exchange or fluid evacuation.

Design & Configuration

The two-piece configuration — an obturator (trocar) that fits inside a corresponding cannula — is intended to separate the cutting/penetration function from the in-dwelling conduit function. This geometry minimizes tissue trauma during insertion while leaving a stable, low-profile cannula for instrument passage or drainage. A properly matched trocar and cannula improves control at insertion, helps maintain patency of the tract, and simplifies subsequent exchanges of instruments or tubing through the cannula lumen.

Material & Construction

Constructed from surgical-grade stainless steel for durability and repeated reprocessing. The two-piece trocar/cannula arrangement is machined to provide secure mating during insertion and reliable lumen integrity when the obturator is removed. The instrument is designed for routine hospital sterilization and reuse in accordance with institutional reprocessing protocols.
